Schwarzenegger: California a Potential Target for Terrorism
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 01:48 AM by Lori Price CLG
Schwarzenegger: California a Potential Target for Terrorism (August 6, 2004) The (GOP-installed) governor spoke on Friday while reviewing the state's first statewide terrorism drill near Sacramento. California is participating in a national exercise called "Operation Determined Promise." The aim is to find out if the nation is prepared for terrorist attacks.

The California effort is called "Golden Guardian." The governor said the state's golden promise makes us a target. "We are living in a state that is number one place in the world...this is why people are jealous...this is why people want to hurt us," he said.

Gee...looky here!
Terrorism and the Election: California is the Target! (July 14, 2004) No postponement, just bedlam at the polls and a low turnout on the west coast is Bush's plan for 'victory' -- by Wayne Madsen "If the pre-election internal tracking polls and public opinion polls show the Kerry-Edwards ticket leading in key battleground states, the Bush team will begin to implement their plan to announce an imminent terrorist alert for the West Coast for November 2 sometime during the mid afternoon Pacific Standard Time. At 2:00 PST, the polls in Kentucky and Indiana will be one hour from closing (5:00 PM EST – the polls close in Indiana and Kentucky at 6:00 PM EST)."

Pakistan: U.S. blew undercover operation
Al-Qaida suspect was secretly cooperating with counterrorist sting

ISLAMABAD, Pakistan - The al-Qaida suspect named by U.S. officials as the source of information that led to this week’s terrorist alerts was working undercover, Pakistani intelligence sources said Friday, putting an end to the sting operation and forcing Pakistan to hide the man in a secret location.
Under pressure to justify the alerts in three Northeastern cities, U.S. officials confirmed a report by The New York Times that the man, Mohammad Naeem Noor Khan, was the source of the intelligence that led to the decision.

A Pakistani intelligence source told Reuters on Friday that Khan, who was arrested in Lahore secretly last month, had been actively cooperating with intelligence agents to help catch al-Qaida operatives when his name appeared in U.S. newspapers.

11. TERRORISM AND THE ELECTION: California is the Target
TERRORISM AND THE ELECTION: California is the Target!

TERRORISM AND THE ELECTION:

NO POSTPONEMENT, JUST BEDLAM AT THE POLLS AND A LOW TURNOUT ON THE WEST COAST IS BUSH’S PLAN FOR "VICTORY"

By Wayne Madsen

"Here’s the scenario we must be all be prepared for:

If the pre-election internal tracking polls and public opinion polls show the Kerry-Edwards ticket leading in key battleground states, the Bush team will begin to implement their plan to announce an imminent terrorist alert for the West Coast for November 2 sometime during the mid afternoon Pacific Standard Time. At 2:00 PST, the polls in Kentucky and Indiana will be one hour from closing (5:00 PM EST – the polls close in Indiana and Kentucky at 6:00 PM EST). Exit polls in both states will be known to the Bush people by that time and if Kentucky (not likely Indiana) looks too close to call or leaning to Kerry-Edwards, the California plan will be implemented. A Bush problem in Kentucky at 6:00 PM EST would mean that problems could be expected in neighboring states and that plans to declare a state of emergency in California would begin in earnest at 3:00 PM PST.

The U.S. Northern Command, which has military jurisdiction over the United States, will, along with the Department of Homeland Security and Schwarzenegger’s police and homeland security officials in Sacramento, declare an “imminent” terrorist threat – a RED ALERT -- affecting California’s major urban areas.

Although the polls in California will not be closed as a result of the declaration, the panic that sets in and the early rush hour will clog major traffic arteries and change the plans of many voters to cast their ballot after work.

That terrorist emergency declaration could be made around 5:00 PM PST and with only three hours left for voting throughout the state, a number of working class voters in urban centers will either be caught up in California’s infamous freeway traffic and be too late to get to their polling places or be more concerned about their families and avoid voting altogether.

Without a doubt, many Democratic voters might simply opt to pick their kids up from day care centers or relatives and then go home without voting. These would tend to be the lower and middle income Californians and the Democratic base. The affluent voters in California who vote Republicans and can easily vote early (and be late for


To paraphrase James Carville, “It’s California and the voter turnout, stupid!” Forget about canceling or postponing the election. Keep your eye on a “Red Terrorist Alert” on the West Coast for Election Day. That doesn’t take a constitutional amendment, merely an okay from Bush and his homeland security team. They must be stopped – the future of this nation is at stake! "

17. The Chimp's Girlie Twin
Edited on Sat Aug-07-04 12:22 PM by goclark

I am so sick of our Girlie Gov I could puke.

How could this state select him when they knew he lies?

It is a lesson that we need to learn.

People BELIEVE what fools like Chimp and his twin Gov say!

There are at least enough of those that don't get it to vote the Chimp in.

It happened in California and I would NEVER have believed it.

20. Good thing for CA that Schwarzenegger is governor in this time of war
He could singlehandedly swing into action to defeat the entire Mahdi army. I know it's true, I've seen his movies. If I were a Californian I'd sleep better knowing he was at the helm. Only George W. Bush is his equal as a real man. Kill 'em all and ask questions later, or better yet kill their families too and don't ask any questions at all! Take that, you limp-wristed liberal America haters!
